Dropped MacBook; hinge doesn't close properly

Yesterday I dropped my MacBook while open backward on the floor and it fell flat on the back of the screen. Now if I want to close the screen (or open) in one of the corners the hinge does not close properly so the edge squeeks against the back of the bottom part. I'm afraid that in the long run this might cause problems as the screen has to be pushed slightly with it's friction. Are there any instructions somewhere where I can try to set the screen back in the right position?
Thanks

You might be able to use some of the information here, http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/ , to help accomplish this.

some of my application in macbook pro doesn't work properly with Os Yosemite, such as dictionary (mac dictionary) and MplayerX and etc
For example when I make MplayerX and such application fullscreen the screen become white and just voice of video can be heard or when I use Mac Dictionary (look-up dictionary) in any pages the meaning of work is not appear ( look at the picture above), so i need to directly open dictionary to find the meaning.
Please help me

Same thing here with MPlayerX (annoying)

Dropped Macbook - hinge bent?

Well the unthinkable happened to me this morning - as I was getting up from using my Macbook the loose end of an ipod cable that was still connected got caught between my toes and my macbook went flying off my desk while it was still open. It landed open with the screen and keyboard facing down. Luckily it somehow didn't get damaged (as far as I can tell so far) except when I close it the lid is a little out of alignment. This thing is more rugged than it looks! My first question is, is this something I should bother getting fixed, as far as the magnetic latches not being lined up exactly?
Also, should I take it to a genius bar just to have them check it out and verify that it still works after being dropped in case something goes wrong in the future? My thinking is that if something like the HDD goes and they see the misaligned lid as evidence of a fall, they wouldn't want to fix it.
Thanks!

Hi Eric,
glad to hear that the lcd and macbook still working.
yes, you can consult genius guy, but re-align your hinge might cost you since that caused by user.
There also third party tools with instruction how to adjust hinge yourself, but if you still under warranty and play with that, I'm afraid it will void the whole warranty if something get worse.
For your HD and rest of macbook try to run hardware check by starting using installer disk and press D while it boot up and run it.
Also you can boot up while pressing C with your installer disk in there, choose language, open utilities > disk utility > repair both permission and disk.
Good Luck.

Drop down menu doesn't close

Hi everyone,
Since I upgraded to Leopard, I remarked a strange menu bar behavior, can you tell me if it's the same for you : When I click on a menu item's icon (not on whatever application menu but at the right of these, like the Bluetooth, Clock or Airport menu), first the drop menu appears. Then, if I click again on this icon, the drop down menu close itself but if I move my mouse at least one pixel in the menu bar area, it opens again. It doesn't really retract or close itself, it only opens and re-open. The only thing to do is to click outside the menu area (on the desktop) to close definitely the drop down menu. Strange!
It wasn't like this in all previous OS X and OS 9.
Do you experience the same thing? Is it a bug?
Thanks for sharing.

I've already made this game. There is a much easier and more user friendly implementation. Have the user start a new game from a menu or button or whatever. Once the game is started have buttons above each row (possibly with a graphic arrow pointing down in the the color of the player who is placing the piece), when the player clicks the button drop a piece into that row.
Don't put an action in an action, you are just making complicated code. Code (especially OO) is supposed to be uncomplicated, easy to read, write, etc....

Macbook Pro Shuts Down / MacBook Pro Doesn't Start Properly

I just had this problem today. When I tried to wake the macbook pro back from sleep, it didn't wake up, after closing and reopening the screen several times. Thus, I forced quit it by holding the switch button. Now, when I tried to start the macbook pro, the computer automatically shuts down in less than 3 seconds. I have tried resetting the PRAM and all that stuff but they don't seem to work. Has anyone had this issue before?

I am having this exact problem. In my case, I shut down my MBP before going to work. Once I reached work, I tried restarting and it shuts down almost immediately. I've already tried most solutions, but as I am at work, I have not been able to try the cd solution. Any help would be welcome as I do not want to have to reinstall the OS.

Doesn't close properly the anonymous user's session.

Hello experts.
We are implementing the anonymous user in Portal, according to the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/1e/e19f58136e654d9709befa464314f2/frameset.htm
We have used the notes: 709354, 837898 and 728106
And the only problem we found and we couldn't solve is when the anonymous user navigate between links, Portal is trying to close the session anonymous without success, showing each click an Error like this:
" Run-time Error Portal
Exception processing application, send your exception ID Portal Administration
11:07 20/01/100517_4300950 exception ID
More details on this exception in the corresponding protocol file "
We haven't found useful information in the default trace.
For this we implemented the note "755947 - Session Release Agent - Guest Access" note but still unresolved.
Any advice would be helpful.
Best regards.
Ernesto

Hi Ernesto.
You need to activate logging and tracing on Session Release Agent (refer to SAP Note 596698), then post an information relevant for Session Release Agent here.

P.S.: Do you use a FQDN?

Serial port doesn't close properly

I'm working with the RXTX comm APi to connect a java application (jdk 1.5) with a mikrocontroller via a virtual serial port (using WinXP). I'm only jumping to certain addresses of the controller and then write into or read from them.
After some tricky problems that were already discussed in this forum I now encountered a new one:
After I finished my communication with the controller, I want to make a clean shutdown by closing the input- and outputStream, removing the SerialEventListener and finally closing the serialPort.
When I'm doing the latter, the program suddenly hangs totally. No exception is thrown and I have to terminate the application through the ide.
I monitor all the port traffic with "portmon" from sysinternals and it tells me that around 5 minutes after I tried to close the port, the javaw-process finally sends "IRP_MJ_CLEANUP" and "IRP_MJ_CLOSE".
Sometimes only the first one is sent, what makes it impossible to connect to the port again without a restart of windows (port in use by unkown application).
I don't have the sourcecode right with me now, so I can't post some examples. However I'm basically doing nothing else then most of the other sourcecodes concerning serial port connections posted in this forum. Anyway I will post some code later.
But for now, has anybody some ideas what could be the problem?
********* EDIT **********
Seems that it's not necessary to post my sourcecode because the same problem occures when I'm running the SerialDemo from the javax.comm 2.0 API.

Here's an update. The serial port works fine, as long as I don't have any I/O pci cards in the machine. Both my Adaptec SCSI controller and a Pinnacle AV card cause the same malfunction with the serial port. When those cards are removed, it works! No conflicts with IRQ or anything that I can see.....no errors reported by windows device manager.

Diagonal lid - doesn't close straight. anyone else?

my macbook screen doesn't close straight. when it is shut, it hangs over a bit on the left and so isn't flush on the right side.
it is 3 months old. it has never left my house, never been dropped. i treat it with tlc at all times. i have an ibook of 3 years and that seems so much more solid.
is it the hinges? any ideas?
Macbook, (and iBook G4) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GHz 80gb 1GB RAM

I believe there's a bit of adjustment to these screens/lids. I'd certainly take it in if you have an Apple Store nearby. If that's not feasible I'd at least give Apple a call and explain the situation.
There maybe a "how-to" somewhere on the net as well but you might as well have Apple do it if it's still under warranty.

MacBook Pro display doesn't close down properly.

We have one MacBook Pro that doesn't close down properly. The display just bounces up. Is there any way to fix this or is this something that needs to be fixed by a technician?

Try blowing out the slots where the two "prongs" come up, and the release button slot (push it in and out a bit while doing this) with compressed air. (use your lungs if you don't have a can of air).
Often a bit of crumb or other gunk will impede the mechanism enough to prevent the magnets from being able to do their job properly.

Hi Shawn and Jason,
I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

I can't get the battery cover on my macbook to close properly.

A while ago i took out the battery of my macbook and i couldnt get the back to close properly again. So the bottom of my macbook is slightly open. I have followed all instuctions on how to close it but i cant manage to. any help?

Examine the battery for signs of expansion. If any are present, you should replace the battery.
Best of luck.

Facebook app on iPad doesn't open properly, it opens , then doesn't go to the loggin page, it just closes again without displaying anything, how do I fix this ?

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
#youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.
